The most inveterate scalper that ever
operated in the Chicago grain market is
Millionaire Hutchinson. A scalper, the
uninitiated should be told is trader who
jumps in and out with rapid deals, salts
fled with small profits, and making us few
losses as possible. Most operators want
to double their money, and many stand
fm long profits. Not SO with Hutch. His
soon as they can show a profit to his
credit.
what do you mean by n profit, Mr..
Hutchinson inquired Il young broker the
other day on receiving his first order from
the scalper.
Great heavens,' was the rejoinder,
''haven't you been here long enough to
know what profit is;' "Ycs, | know
what profit is, but | don't know what
you consider n satisfactory profit "A
profit" Hutch then explained, ''is a profit.
Any profit should be satisfactory to a man
who isn't hog. Young man, $50 is a
proft-yes $40 or So, or 81, or even ten
cents. And if you can't do any better,
one cent is better than nothing at all Go
along and fill that order, and be sure that
you earn me a profit, no matter how
small" The broker said he had been
trading on Hutchinson's account for
seventeen successive days, filling several
small orders each day, and in all that
time he had not made loss. Some
times his profits were only sufficient to
pay commissions and a dollar or two over,
but the old man was always satisfied

Ny first venture in steamboat life was
in lS4j. and then | thought it was n very
risky one The first boat ] owned was
little sternwhcecr, the Luclla, the first St
Louis and Alton daily packet. At that
time Alton had but one street running
back from the river bank. Close to the
boat landing had little store with all
my little fortune invested. Shortly after
had opened out, along came u minister
who owned the Lucllla. He was dis
couraged with his efforts Mt steamboating,
and wanted me to take the boat off his
hands One thousand dollars was the fig
ure; $500 cash and the balance in two or
three months. | finally agreed on $500
cash and the balance on time. How was
/ to get the money, 1t was as difficult of
solution as the Interstate commerce puz-
zle. But got it, | went around to the
business men of Alton, borrowed S23
from this one and $50 from another, and
not one Of them knew that | had Dor
rowed from the other. In about two
hours had the $500 together closed the
bargain and started for -. Louis the next
day The boat was u success, and |
cleared all Indebtedness in two trips.
